search, min keyword

When I try to search something on my web and I write only three or four characters on the search field, it doesn't show the search results but shows this: "Keywords must be at least 5 characters long" and "Keywords shorter than 5 characters will be ignored"...

So I cannot search through the web if I don't write 5 characters.
Is there anyway to change this. Ex. to make the minimun keywords 2 or 3. Or to delete it all and make no min.keywords needed.

Thanks in advance

yeah in admin preferences under search options.. (quite a logical place for it to be i think)

also please don't tap enter repeatedly just because it takes more than a few seconds to submit your post.. otherwise you create multiple topics all of the same name like you have done.

i also wouldn't recommend allowing less than 4 characters per word either.. otherwise a search can seriously bump up resources on your server, especially if many people use search..

3 words would search 'the' aswell and 'and' etc etc, you get the point? those words appear thousands of times on a forum when people post.. you really don't want need that..
